I have a Taurus 605 (5-shot .357, 2" barrel, bobbed hammer) that came with rubber boot grips. I want to replace the rubber grips with wood, but I can't decide between "boot grips"
or the "oversize finger groove" style.
The boot grips are smaller, hence easier to conceal, but only allow purchase for two fingers and your pinky just curls underneath. The larger grips allow the pinky to get a grip, which may enhance control, but are longer. It doesn't look like there is a lot more length to the "oversize" grip (still smaller than "combat" grips), so I don't think it would be a whole lot worse for concealing.
So who has used both styles of grip and what was your experience with them? Is the larger grip worth more difficulty concealing? Is there really much more difficulty concealing the oversize style versus the boot grip? Is the extra purchase afforded by the longer grip that much of an improvement over a boot grip?
